In Office 365 email, everyone has a default icon with their initials inside a circle. The icon is so boring that it makes you want to add a photo. However, nobody changes their icon. Everyone keeps the default icon. To use your photo makes you seem rather narcissistic. “Here’s a photo of me!”

I have a desire to personalize my icon. To be more subtle, I slightly customized my default icon with my initials MM. Since the Cubs recently won the World series for the first time in 108 years, I made mine Cubs-themed.

I took a screenshot of my default icon, and then added the World Series trophy and the letter C.

Wow! This Mysterious Letters project is amazing! That is some amazing dedication to write so many custom letters to everyone. What a wonderful idea to write them to every single person in one town, and mail them all at the same time!

Huh, Target is pretty low compared to the top three. Most of my toy shopping is done at Target. Although I'm very sad for Toys R Us closing. As a kid, and to this day as an adult, I love going to Toys R Us. Being completely surrounded by aisles of toys. I love it... er... I loved it.

Makes you wonder if you are a frame creator, what sort of frames would you have at home? Or maybe it's one of those things where you do it so much at work, you don't want to see work-related stuff at home.

I love hearing the story of your sun with the baseball season. My daughter was born three weeks into the Cubs championship season in 2016. When the Cubs were in the World Series, I did a series of scorecards for Chicago Magazine. https://www.57hits.com/game-7-scorecard-2016-world-series Every scorecard featured a drawing of my six-month-old daughter in the corner. Just thinking about how that worked out gives me chills. :) I would be happy to contribute in anyway to Scorekeepers Union. I do some crazy scorecards.
